Programa de Educação Tutorial na escola: atuação do arquivista e do bibliotecário em ambientes escolares

The role of the librarian and archivist in school settings is shown, currently in the initial stages. Starting up this hypothesis, the PET of Librarianship of the FFC/UNESP prepared the design in PET at School with a view to submitting importance of these professionals this environment. Thus, it is expected that the performance of the stock of PET Librarianship in schools is another catalytic to the formation of responsible professionals and concerned with the society around them as idealized the political projects of pedagogical courses of Library and Archival of FFC/UNESP. Experiments of this nature bring the discussion of knowledge acquired in the classroom and the possibility of social transformation by information professional.

Surface modification of polymeric materials by cold atmospheric plasma jet

In this work we report the surface modification of different engineering polymers, such as, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) by an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ). It was operated with Ar gas using 10 kV, 37 kHz, sine wave as an excitation source. The aim of this study is to determine the optimal treatment conditions and also to compare the polymer surface modification induced by plasma jet with the one obtained by another atmospheric pressure plasma source the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD). The samples were exposed to the plasma jet effluent using a scanning procedure, which allowed achieving a uniform surface modification. The wettability assessments of all polymers reveal that the treatment leads to reduction of more than 40 degrees in the water contact angle (WCA). Changes in surface composition and chemical bonding were analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier-Transformed Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) that both detected incorporation of oxygen-related functional groups. Surface morphology of polymer samples was investigated by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and an increase of polymer roughness after the APPJ treatment was found. The plasma-treated polymers exhibited hydrophobic recovery expressed in reduction of the O-content of the surface upon rinsing with water. This process was caused by the dissolution of low molecular weight oxidized materials (LMWOMs) formed on the surface as a result of the plasma exposure. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Potencial de reciclagem dos resíduos sólidos urbanos do Município de Salto-SP

O excessivo consumo de recursos naturais renováveis e não renováveis combinado com a ineficiência e o desperdício de seu uso geram uma problemática muito atual nos centros urbanos: a grande produção de resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU) e sua destinação inadequada. O presente trabalho caracterizou o RSU da cidade de Salto – SP a fim de quantificar os materiais recicláveis presentes nestes sólidos, bem como mapear sua origem e o perfil social de sua fonte geradora. Foram utilizadas quinze (15) classes de recicláveis, além do lixo orgânico e rejeitos. Dentre as classes estão: latas de aço; sucatas ferrosas; papel misto; papelão ondulado; embalagens longa vida; polietileno de alta densindade – PEAD; polipropileno – PP; poliestireno (PS); PET óleo; PET refrigerante; vidro; outros plásticos – PVC, materiais compostos de mais de um tipo de plástico e PS expandido; aparas plásticas; latinhas de alumínio e outros alumínios,. Os resultados apontam para uma grande geração de materias recicláveis no RSU em bairros de maior poder aquisitivo. O porcentual total de recicláveis na cidade foi de 38,38%

Levantamento bibliográfico sobre o método SODIS de desinformação solar da água

Frente ao desafio de prover água de melhor qualidade para o uso humano a um custo acessível e de simples execução, muitos métodos tem sido desenvolvidos e estudados. Uma metodologia que tem se destacado atualmente, é o método SODIS, sigla em inglês que significa, desinfecção da água por meio da luz solar. Essa metodologia tem como princípio a inativação de uma variada gama de microrganismos patogênicos a partir da ação dos raios solares. Essa metodologia consiste em submeter garrafas de água a um banho de luz solar por algumas horas. Para a realização do método SODIS pode-se utilizar garrafas PET (politereftalato de etileno), sendo que sua execução é simples e rápida além de possuir mínimos riscos envolvidos. A fim de comprovar a eficácia desse método, muitos estudos tem investigado os mecanismos e fatores importantes envolvidos no processo de inativação. Da compreensão desses mecanismos e fatores críticos, preconizou-se ações que visam garantir e maximizar a eficiência do método em variadas situações e condições climáticas sem que o método se torne complexo ou oneroso. O método SODIS se mostrou eficaz na inativação de várias espécies de fungos, vírus, bactérias e até protozoários. Estudos de campo revelaram a sua eficácia prática, ocasionando uma diminuição expressiva nas ocorrências referentes a quadros de diarréia e diarréia severa nas populações estudadas

Fístula infraorbitária associada à doença periodontal em cães

Veterinary Dentistry has grown considerably in recent years. This growth, associated to increase of knowledge among pet owners regarding responsible ownership of their pets, resulted in growing concern about the oral health of the animals that already can be observed at veterinary clinics. Among the oral diseases in dogs, infraorbital fistula, so called carnassial” fistula, is a periapical osteolytic lesion of the fourth premolar (4 SPM), often associated with periodontal disease. In its early stages, is characterized clinically by a swelling in the region of the jawbone before the formation of the fistula and leakage of a liquid serosanguineous or purulent secretion. Because of these clinical features, it is often misdiagnosed as a skin condition unrelated to the teeth. It is very important to obtain intraoral radiographs to confirm the diagnosis for performing the most appropriate treatment, according to the cause of the injury

Aplicação da acupuntura em animais silvestres

This study will focus on one part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture - utilized as therapy method for pathologies treatment in humans and animals - , as well as its main techniques. Acupuncture is one branch of TCM, originated from theoretical and empirical knowledge accumulated by popular medicine. Currently, researches performed in humans and animals have shown the effectiveness of this method as an assistance or alternative in illnesses treatment. Besides that, professionals are not merely looking for orthodox medicine knowledge, but also specializations and improvement over the complementary therapies area. There are diverse studies and researches which were and are being done in veterinary, relating the effectiveness of acupuncture in small and large animals. In comparison, in the wild animals’ area the numbers of studies is smaller. However, it is expected that this number increases over the fact that some of these animals’ species are entering the pet market and also because of the possibility of using these methods for treatment and prevention of diseases on zoo animals or other animals kept in captivity
